Upload a video to YouTube and link it in. I’ll page Click and Clack.

 

Neighbors cat?

 

Cleaning Cycle?

 

Awesome!

 

Check oil. Please see the manual about injector cleaning cycle noise.

 

That would be the annoying whine coming from the front right side

 

as a technician. videos suck for noise diagnosis. open then hood/ crawl under it. point the camera and your hand or whatever directly at where the noise is coming from. video of a noise from 6 feet away from the truck is worthless.

 

So crawl under it while it's running.

 

Definitely check the oil level then.

 

Your input was worthless thanks

 

Does you boss know you're both on the clock on tacomaforum?

Try a different dealer assuming still under warranty.

 

I am the boss

 

is this intermittent or does it make this noise all the time?

 

What makes you assume we're at work? We work at Toyota, actually as well. Also, not under warranty since its passed the 50k mile mark. Thanks for the comment though.

 

Just started this morning. Techs deemed its probably not the injector cleaning cycle and to leave it overnight so they can check it in the AM.

 

i'd be interested to see what the timing advance looks like. kinda sounds like the timing is off but that would be unusual. also, could be an idler pully or one of the other accessories.
